Loch Kinord is a small, freshwater loch at Muir of Dinnet, Aberdeenshire, Scotland just north of the River Dee and 5 mi (8 km) east of Ballater.[3] The loch is also known as Loch Ceander and Loch Cannor. It is approximately 1 mi (1.6 km) in length and was formed from a glacial kettle hole.[3][6] The loch sits within the Muir of Dinnet National Nature Reserve and is immediately south of Loch Davan.[6]
It contains several islets, as noted in a 19th-century book giving a brief description of the loch, and is forested with birch trees.[4]
